Mel Antonen Of MASN Previews Game One Of The World Series Between The Indians And The Cubs

Mel Antonen is a reporter, blogger, and analyst for MASN Sports.

Mel joined Ed and Rob to talk about game one of the World Series tonight in Cleveland.

Mel started off by talking about what is the most attractive part of this World Series match-up saying "the match-ups are always interesting...but the number one story in all of this is the drought, the fact that the Cubs the last time they were in the World Series black players were not allowed to play that gives you some perspective."

When asked about which team he liked most and who will take the series and why Mel said "I think the Cubs overall are stronger, the Indians big advantage is in the bullpen but it's a slight advantage and the offenses are very even...the fact that both teams have had some power throughout the first two series is interesting but overall the Cubs are the better team with less questions around their line-up."

Finally Mel made his prediction for series MVP choosing Dexter Fowler of the Cubs.
